This summary draws on signals shown in detail below — price comps, listing age, maintenance and engine status, and key specs. Read each section for full context. Not an appraisal.

Airframe time

Average over the aircraft's life — 6,264 hrs total time across ~47 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

≈133 hrs/yrHigh time

High utilization

This airframe has averaged about 133 hrs/year over ~47 years — more than most personal aircraft. Regular flying keeps engines and systems healthy, but it also adds cumulative wear, so review the maintenance history, component overhauls, and how the total time compares with the type's typical service life.

Cost to own

Rule-of-thumb estimates — insurance ≈ 1% of price, hangar $7,500/yr, annual inspection $2,500/yr, fuel + oil at your selected hrs/yr. Your actual costs will vary.

As a sole owner

$1,965/mo$23,575/yr

≈ $236 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$157,500 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $8,575 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

1/4 share$39,375$1,241/mo$14,894/yr

Buy-in is the asking price split evenly across partners — what you'd each pay to acquire the aircraft (the real figure is negotiated). Fixed costs (insurance, hangar, inspection) split equally by number of partners; fuel/oil is per-pilot since each partner flies their own hours.
